That makes more sense now. Good luck!

Oh I'm so happy I found this thread!!

Anybody know if it usually takes longer to find out if sponsorship is approved when applying for PR in Quebec? My application to sponsor my spouse was received on October 11th 2011, and when I check my status online it still on says "Application Received"....nothing has been updated since October....

I currently live in the UK with my spouse (who is English) where we were both students, but I'm moving back to Quebec next week and we're trying to figure out when would be the best time for him to fly over...any ideas on all of this?!

Thank you!!!

It shouldn't take any longer at all. Once sponsorship is approved they'll notify you and MICC (if I recall correctly). Then you'll have to fill out the paperwork for sponsorship in Quebec and your spouse's Certificat de Selection du Quebec. While MICC is handling your application on their end your spouse's permanent residency application will be forwarded to the visa office. MICC was really fast last spring when I went through this with my husband. His sponsorship and my CSQ were approved within 2 weeks after we sent in the forms to MICC. Your spouse will receive an official copy of his CSQ in the mail and another will be forwarded directly to the visa office.

Basically the two systems do their own thing at their own time, but it generally works out fine. I think the visa office will even open the file and begin processing it, but they just can't finalize it unless the CSQ has been received.

As for when he should fly over, as long as he's from a visa exempt nation he should be able to come visit you for 6 mths at a time (visitor extensions are only $75 online). If you're concerned that he will be refused entry for some reason, then I would wait until your application has at least been submitted. He should bring proof of payment, copies of his application, etc. with him. Plus he should only come on a visit (i.e. he can't move here yet).

hey everyone old and new members

i want to make this thread alive again i know some ppl through this process now so it's easier to talk abt it here
i just went through this thread again (good info) and it gave me peace of mind since we have been waiting for more than 3 weeks now and still no CSQ...i guess next week i have to call, and only I (the sponsor) can call right? or the applicant? can our family from Montreal call for us? it looks no

it would b nice to compare timelines, i wanted to check ur table but the link does not work anymore :

anyway: MICC received our forms May 1st and May 4th they charged the credit card

it would b nice to keep track here of the follow up (after we get the CSQ)!! in case the embassy asks for it again, etc, we can share here...good luck!!

Just poking this thread to see if anyone else is in this category

I'll be sending off my application in the very near future. I almost don't want it to leave. I've been adding to it and working on it for the past two to three months, it has become a part of my life. Weird, I know.

I got over the hurdle of the medical exam recently. If there are any of you getting your meds done in Canada/Quebec and applying outland, be prepared to provide some education to your DMP. Mine insisted that it was illegal...yes, illegal to do so. He also insisted that if I got my medical done in Canada and applied outland, my whole application would be cancelled. I won't even get started on the confusion with them over the Buffalo office closure and the need for me to put Ottawa on the visa office form...

On the plus side, the CIC agent I spoke to right after the appointment was a gem. I'm happy with that positive experience and his information to let me know it was completely okay to get my meds done in Canada and apply outland. Here's hoping that was the only hiccup in the process!
